Death Waiting

This is the vegetable chow mien that I believe was the start of my physical undoing in India. I noticed that it was significantly spicy. After eating at the restaurant a second night, I became very ill. I think the proper medical term for my condition was Poopin’ and Pukin’ and, since I figure that gives you a good picture of my illness, I won’t provide details. I will say that it did make an impact on my stay in Delhi. For the 36 hours after the second restaurant visit, I rarely left my hotel room. I spent that period trying to shake off the symptoms of my illness. I did so with some degree of success. However, I missed a good, full day of sightseeing and that irritated me. In all seriousness, though, it’s so much better to err on the side of caution in situations concerning my health when I’m overseas.
